Smashing Magazine is a great resource for designers of all types, but the post I bookmarked was in May of 2007 titled, "70 Expert Ideas for Better CSS Coding". Some of the information is a no-brainer (but I'm big on following CSS standards and organizing… I won't let anyone else work in my CSS unless they do it the way I do): organize, use borders to identify how the setup is working, pay attention to closing all tags, etc. But some of it still surprises me, like working with EMs.

It's definitely a link I'm glad to have in my repertoire, especially when I run into a wonky problem I can't seem to solve.

Back when I originally started doing a lot of CSS design, I found The City Church website via CSSBeauty.com (I think). It's a beautifully designed website, all CSS, clean and contemporary. In the beginning, I often looked to their code to identify how their tabs came out and how they managed to make the site look incredible even on IE.

I believe I found this URL about two years ago, and it resides in my Site Examples folder.

In general, a list apart rocks. Once I started doing web design full time, a list apart became an invaluable resource.

In 2004 they ran an article about creating onion-skinned drop shadows using CSS, and it was such a great idea, I made a bookmark. But a list apart has a ton of excellent, well-written articles, so I have the homepage bookmarked as well.
